Blacks (who make up about 12 percent of the American population) are over-represented almost everywhere.  If you want to get into a racial conspiracy theory, try to figure out why Elliott, the Jew and the best 'singer' of the competition, was left out.  Mandisa's too fat.  Paris has to find a lower range (sounds like shite trying to sing low).  Get over it.  And, by the way, the wanna-be Whitney/Mariah thing is sad and old--which is why Taylor won.
